Cocaine king freed sparks uproar in Colombia and US
Jorge Luis Ochoa Vasquez, linked to the Medellin Cartel, was released from La Picata prison prompting protests in Colombia and Washington.

The incident drew sharp rebukes from President Barco and U S officials who called the release illegal and a setback to international law enforcement. He faces a 1986 indictment accusing him of importing 58 tons of cocaine in five years. The warden who authorized the release was fired and faces prosecution.
